No Frills sim upgrade

natashakitt — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 14:44:53 GMT

i recently went through adding an additional line/contract on the app as it said i could gift data

however upon receiving the sim it cant be used to gift data as it is a ‘no frills’ sim , is there anyway to upgrade to an essentials sim? Thanks

Hello @natashakitt ,

Welcome to the community,

I would suggest speaking to customer service and see what they say.

Did you get this resolved? I have the same problem and EE are not being helpful.

Hi,

yes after I rung up and explained to them that I didn't realise the sim couldn't gift data, they transferred my plan to the essentials sim for me, hope you get it sorted too

@Gheis Did you check to make sure roaming was enabled on your EE account ?

Hi @Gheis

You'll need to speak to our Mobile Care team to check the status of Roaming on your account. You can find our contact information, including an international number, on our get in touch help page.
